One day, a case dredges up a murder from Lu Yi’s past

* The heroine is a former space cop: a hot-blooded, single-minded doofus.
* The hero is an outlaw. He’s gorgeous once he takes off his mask, with pale skin, pretty features, and long legs.
* The couple are a bickering pair who can’t help falling for each other.
* The show focuses on exploring paranormal events and explaining them scientifically. But the heroine has a knack for getting into accidents, so the show’s content often takes off like a runaway horse in who-knows-what direction. Anyway, it should be... pretty funny?
